If you like microformats and / or RSS you’ll love it. If you don’t know about microformats and / or RSS you need to watch it. Channel9 interviews Matt Augustine and Paresh Suthar about Live Clipboard and Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE).

A few days ago I grumbled at the poor state of the search engines specializing in syndicated (RSS’d or Atomized) content.
